There's a list of exemptions, but the only one relevant to ebooks is if the publisher doesn't allow the "read aloud" function. I don't know how common that would be, it seems a bit petty to me but I suppose the publisher-logic would be that it would put people off buying a professionally read version when they can listen to Steven Hawkins read it for free.

Other than that, definitely illegal.
